Preview Changes vs Hawthorn Round 19

[javaguice]

Yeo looked furious after the GC game.

Hope he rips the hawks a new bunghole.

You have to work within the reality of the situation. If Hill is injured and needs a rest (I hope he doesn't because he' our best option) you then have a choice of; 1) Lamb - a very inexperienced tall player who's hardly like for like and would have a huge challenge manning up on the Hawks hardened defenders (at risk of becoming a stringboard out of our attack/ benefit of pinching a couple of marks and slotting them), 2) Newman who has shown nothing, absolutely nothing for weeks, high risk is he shows even less at AFL level and 3) McGinnity who looks to be in form, is as tough as nails and has shown he can at least halve a position even under high finals lite pressure. Risk is he doesn't impact the game/ payoff if he puts in a huge defensive game, knocks a few Hawks on their arses and locks the ball in our forwardline. I guess the other option is Lycett...

Or Butler comes in for Hill and releases Ellis to a roaming / defensive HFF.

I'd really like to see this as Ellis is a smart skillful footballer and he knows how the Hawks play. He'd love to kick a couple and set a couple more up against his old team.

Wouldnt mind Lamb getting another run - Darling & Lamb together in fwd 50 would be a hard match up.

Lamb... it's thyme

 

[Sammy J]

Ins: lamb, butler, mcgovern
Outs: hill, Hutchings, barass

Mint. Sounds saucy

Mint. Sounds saucy

He might be a little underdone after just 3 games back for East Perth. We don't' want to put him in a pressure cooker situation and overcook him.

 

[Hamitoco]

Out: Barrass, Hutchings/selwood
In: Gov, Butler

Whoever stays in out of Hutchings or Selwood plays sub, would love to see Lamb come in for Hill but worried about the Hawks exposing him to much

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Fox sports did an article today with Champion Data figures showing McGinnity was the third most effective sub in the league behind Grigg (Crows) and Green (that Lions ranga who always seems to come on and terrorize us)

And there you have it people, irrefutable proof that stats mean absolutely jack shit when it comes to effectiveness on a football field.

 

[DINEnDASH]

Out: Barass, Hutchings
In: McGovern, Butler (sub)

 

[Avalor]

Out: Barass, Hutchings
In: McGovern, Butler (sub)

I wouldn't be surprised if Barrass stays in as cover - besides he was good in his 2 games. Will be a player! Definitely want Hutchings out.

 

[WCEbrody]

Will be interesting to see if we keep Barrass in the team once McGovern is back.

 

[Suma Magic]

My guess at the changes, as opposed to preference:

Butler Schofield Sheppard
Hurn McGovern Wellingham
Masten Priddis Gaff
LeCras Darling Sheed
McGinnity Kennedy Cripps

Naitanui Yeo Shuey

I: Ellis Selwood Sinclair
S: Rosa

E: Hutchings Hill Barrass

I'm sure he will rack up a lot of possessions

 

[mick06]

Mcg will be back. Simmo will brain fart and want some 'toughness' to stand up to the unsociables.

 

[mad_eagle]

So I just realised this is the Ch. 7 Saturday night game this week...oh joy

Out: Darcy, BT

In: Anybody with a clue

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

we dont really risk too much by bringing lamb in for hill. leaving injuries out of the equation, there is almost no chance lamb can do worse than hill, even absolute worst case scenario, he still be more lively and tackle and chase way more than Josh. so why not take that risk? if it doesnt work, at least he lays some tackles, adds pressure, if it does?? yaaaaaay. he is in good form and if he replicates that in AFL that would add another dimension to our forward line pressure. Lamb, cripps and darling chasing defenders is a scary prospect. no risk for me and its a great change.

 

[Suma Magic]

If it's going to be really wet then we might be hesitant to bring in another tall.

Its a nice sentiment and Id love to see Lamb play but it would be for scoreboard pressure rather than F50 pressure. One tackle in the last 2 games. He could certainly beef up that side of his game if thats the role we want him to play.

 

[Prem87]

If its wet - Newman for Hill, McGovern for Barrass, Butler for Hutchings

Time to hunt Lamb

 

[La Dolce Vita]

I'm backing Hill in and I'm sure the selection committee will too.
Its our biggest game of the year and he has been an important part of our fwd structure.

(yes I know he has been below par lately)

 

[King LeBron]

Time to hunt Lamb

Agreed, bring Lamb in, he will chop it up

 

[Johnno22]

Agreed, bring Lamb in, he will chop it up

Still a bit raw for mine.
